James Thomspon and Steve Bosse were to fight under only stand up rules, but the commission did not approve the rules, they technically it was an MMA fight, but all the fighters said they just stand up..

Thompson doesnt do any of this and causes a huge riot with beer cans and chairs being thrown into the ring..

classy response from Thompson. If the ref comes up to him before the fight and says "this is MMA rules" what is he supposed to do? The guys running the event should have either had an MMA event or they should've gotten their **** together in advance and had their own rules approved before setting everything up.

Got to respect the guy for placing the blame exactly where it belongs (the shoulders of the promoter) and not being upset with the fans for throwing beer bottles and chairs at him and trying to mob him for doing his job.
